The Best 5 Handheld Panini Presses: As Recommended by Experts in 2022

The best handheld Panini press models we’re going to look at in today’s guide have been designed with two different kinds of people in mind.

The first one is those of you who, like me, are all about simplicity or retro designs and are only interested in tools that can deliver as required without all the unnecessary bells and whistles. And hey, don’t let that fool you into thinking that simple handled Panini Presses can’t complement your kitchen. In fact, if anything, my handheld model has attracted more attention than my high-end Panini Press since I acquired it. Uniqueness is attractive.

The second type of people who will appreciate these masterpieces is those who love the outdoors and are also looking for a handheld Panini Press that could double up as one of the best portable units. Thanks to their slim designs, these strokes of geniuses will perfectly fit inside your bag without a hassle. Since they do not need electricity to operate, you can also use them easily over your campfires.

Without further ado, here are the best handheld Panini Presses.
